• Abstract:

  This article discusses the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as a promising tool in dermatology to accelerate the healing of skin wounds. PRP is a blood derivative that contains high concentrations of platelets and growth factors, which play a crucial role in tissue regeneration. It stimulates angiogenesis, fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis, significantly accelerating the healing process. The article also highlights the effectiveness of PRP in chronic wounds, which are often slow to heal, emphasizing its relevance as an innovative treatment in the aesthetic field.
